	Marsh and River Restoration Project by Jim Sweeney (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The dredging and draining of the marsh and river between the late 1800’s and 1920 clearly caused the flooding and erosion that now cost taxpayers millions of dollars every year.
		The Indiana Grand Kankakee Marsh Restoration Project is a thirty partner, public and private venture to restore 26,000 acres of wetland and adjacent upland to restore the basins waterfowl populations.
		We believe the entire 100-year Kankakee River floodplain should be in permanent wetland management and that the river should be returned to its original course, most of which still exists isolated from the artificial channel.
